The C-Suite CV: How to prove you belong in the Boardroom

At the C-suite level, your CV isn’t just a formality - it’s a business case, a high-stakes sales pitch and a credibility test, all rolled into one. Boards aren’t just looking for another leader; they’re looking for the leader. Your CV has to prove - instantly - that you’re the one who can steer the ship, shape the vision and deliver results at the very top. But the brutal truth is that most C-level CVs fail. They’re weighed down by job descriptions instead of impact. They tell, rather than sell. And they lack the compelling narrative that makes decision-makers sit up and take notice.

It’s time to rethink everything you thought you knew about C-suite CVs.

In this free one-hour masterclass, Victoria McLean, award-winning careers expert and CEO of City CV, lifts the lid on what actually gets senior leaders hired. As a former Goldman Sachs and Merrill Lynch recruiter, she has helped thousands of executives claim the C-suite crown. She currently sits on the board of the Hanover Executive Search Group and is also a Non-Executive Board Advisor.

In this session, you will learn:

●            The C-suite mindset shift. Why the rules change when you hit the top and how to position yourself as a business leader, not just a functional expert.

●            How to write like a leader. Ditch the corporate jargon and build a compelling narrative that exudes authority, commercial acumen and board-level influence.

●            The C-suite CV framework. How to create achievements that showcase the scale, complexity and results of your leadership.

●            The AI battleground. Why your CV is being screened by algorithms before humans (and how to make sure it gets past both).

●            Boardroom-ready branding. The overlooked storytelling technique that positions you as a CEO-in-waiting.

If you’re serious about landing your first (or next) C-suite role, this is the masterclass you can’t afford to miss. Seats are limited. Sign up now.
